Our Summer of Hemp Discontent

Irony is in full bloom this growing season. We are the last industrial nation to forbid hemp cultivation, and the largest importer of hemp raw materials. Our Guy of (dashed) Hope and (spare) Change does nothing about oligarchic edicts cooked up nearly a century ago by greedy white men to take out the competition, so with this frontier off limits in America, the freedom to grow is giving hemp farmers and enterprisers an enviable head start in more enlightened countries like North Korea and China.
